Obama Makes Things Worse…Again

The Gormogons Posted on August 29, 2013 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 6, 2014

The pageant of incompetence continues at the Obama White House. Remember when we said this? Let us see if we have this mapped out. The United States backed protesters in Egypt, demanded Ḥusnī Mubārak resign immediately, got chummy with the … Continue reading →

What is to be done: Egypt

The Gormogons Posted on August 23, 2013 by Confucius, Œc. Vol.April 6, 2014

The Czar ponders what might be done with Egypt. In passing, he describes the Volgi as a foreign-policy cynic. One thinks of oneself as an empiricist more than a cynic, but perhaps the eye of the beholder governs. The short … Continue reading →

Maybe Nothing Should Be Done

The Gormogons Posted on August 22, 2013 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 6, 2014

The Czar tends to be the optimist; he leaves cynicism for 孔夫子, the Œcumenical Volgi (The Notorious ŒV) as the latter is far more experienced in matters of Что делать. But what is to be done seems to be the … Continue reading →

Explaining the Egypt/Libya Contradictions

The Gormogons Posted on October 11, 2012 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 6, 2014

A lot of weird stuff is coming to light about the Benghazi attacks. By now, we have already established what happened, down to which room the Ambassador was hiding in, and how he was forced out with fire. This is … Continue reading →

Get Over Yourselves

The Gormogons Posted on September 13, 2012 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 6, 2014

Both liberals and conservatives need to get over themselves with the events of September 11, 2012, and focus on what actually happened. Not surprisingly, each needs to get over something different; even less surprisingly, the Czar has plenty of advice … Continue reading →

Another Foreign Policy Disaster

The Gormogons Posted on September 12, 2012 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 6, 2014

The President cannot claim any real superiority in foreign policy; as recent events show, foreign crises are irritating things that seem to serve no other purpose than to interrupt his fund raising. What the heck are Libya and Egypt thinking? … Continue reading →

All The News That’s Printed To Fit

The Gormogons Posted on February 11, 2011 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 7, 2014

You know how we often say that the major media will write stories to fit a pre-decided template and if the news does not fit that template, they will change it until it does? You will recall Tunisia overthrew their … Continue reading →

Mubārak Writes In…

The Gormogons Posted on February 11, 2011 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 7, 2014

The Czar received this letter from Egyptian landmark Ḥusnī Mubārak. Evidently, the Czar was to have released this to the world media or something, but was under the weather and forgot. Instead of that, we will simply post it here … Continue reading →

Domino Theory

The Gormogons Posted on February 3, 2011 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 7, 2014

As the situation worsens in Egypt, you continue to hear references to The Domino Theory. First Tunisia, now Egypt, and protests (or attempts at protests) are taking place in Jordan, Yemen, and Syria. The success of one protest emboldens the … Continue reading →

The Gormogons Posted on January 29, 2011 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 7, 2014

BBC News reports that over 100,000 people have begun highly vocal, organized protests in Yemen, echoing the Egyptian protests. No official government response in Yemen yet.

Egypt: Some Possible Scenarios

The Gormogons Posted on January 28, 2011 by The Czar of MuscovyApril 7, 2014

There is a joke once popular among Egyptians and more appropriate now than ever. Roughly translated, it goes like this: “The Angel of Death comes to Ḥusnī Mubārak, and says ‘It is time. Say good bye to the Egyptian people.’ … Continue reading →

Recognizing Reality: Arab Countries to Drop Denial of Israel?

The Gormogons Posted on September 7, 2009 by The Czar of MuscovySeptember 7, 2009

Ha‘aretz is reporting some encouraging news, in that a senior US official believes an unspecified number of Arab states have agreed to make overtures to Israel, perhaps as a prelude to normalizing relations with Israel. Presently, only two Arab countries … Continue reading →

The Mummy’s Return

The Gormogons Posted on March 22, 2009 by The Czar of MuscovyMarch 22, 2009

Had to read this one twice. The headline says “Egypt Wants 3,000-Year-Old Wooden Coffin Illegally Smuggled Into U.S.”. And so the Czar blinks and says, “Why not just send it to us normally?” “Oh, they want it returned.” Nice editing, … Continue reading →

Things going south between us and Pakistan?

The Gormogons Posted on September 12, 2008 by Confucius, Œc. Vol.September 12, 2008

This may be an overdue reckoning, or it may just be the inevitable result of Musharraf’s downfall. The more public opinion—not to mention the military and ISI—comes into play in Pakistan, the less well we’re going to do in in … Continue reading →
